The Morning Shave.

The Feather blade was in my 1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable today.

I missed a Saturday shave, an opportunity to use the Feather Hi-Stainless today.
A very comfortable light shave, very smooth face & head shave. No nicks or discomfort.
The Omega Boar brush has broken in well and easily produces a rich dense lather.

Been shaving with this razor exclusively for the last ten days or so. Having shaved with traditional straights for many years now, ingrained muscle memory and the evolution of reliable repeatable technique have somewhat depleted the challenge aspect of the process (although still rewarding and enjoyable). Using this razor repeatedly has definitely revived that "challenge"!
Not there yet but enjoying the Kamisori experience for sure!​

I know exactly how you feel. It certainly is a wonderful new experience. I'm about 20 shaves into my kamisori adventure.
